Workers’ Heritage Fest Workers’ Heritage Fest Month Held: March Sponsorship: $1,500 for both Workers’ Heritage Fest and Victorine’s Valentine Day Description: Hagley Museum features a St. Patrick’s Celebration each March on the Sunday before St. Patrick’s Day from 12:30 to 4 p.m. The day brings some of the sights, sounds, and aromas of Ireland to Hagley. Activities are included with the museum’s regular admission. Approximately 350 visitors participate in the event each year. This celebration of the workers who came from Ireland to find jobs in E. I. du Pont’s powder yards offers visitors of all ages a chance to enjoy a bit of Irish culture. A singing and storytelling duo fills Hagley’s Brandywine Manufacturers’ Sunday School with the sounds of fiddles, guitars, and fine vocals. In addition to the musical entertainment, an expert presents information on Irish genealogy searches; the McAleer School for Irish Dance showcases children’s step dancing; the New Castle County Irish Society demonstrates Ceili folk dancing; and shamrocks, both live and crocheted, sprout from make-andtake boutonnieres. “Wee ones” enjoy coloring a leprechaun or writing with a quill pen in addition to the music and dancing. Visitors can warm themselves with tea and scones like those Mrs. Gibbons, wife of a powder-yard foreman, may have made for her family in the Gibbons House kitchen. Since St. Patrick’s Day is the traditional start of the planting season, there will be an outdoor activity as well: in the workers’ garden, visitors can help prepare the soil and plant peas and potatoes.
